SEVEN dads from Scotland will take on a gruelling 100 kilometre ultra-marathon to help raise money for those affected by brain injuries.
The group from Banchory has been inspired by the recovery and rehabilitation of the wife of the run’s co-founder Martin MacRae.
Discussing the challenge ahead, MacRae said: “I knew I wanted to do something to raise funds and awareness for the three specialist facilities that saved Morag’s life, and to recognise the trauma our family has been through, but it wasn’t until an evening walking up Scolty in June last year with my friend John Pope, that the ‘Banchory 100’ was born.
She underwent an emergency condition to remove a large part of her skull, which relieved the pressure. MacRae added: “Without the care and support of the teams in Brisbane and Aberdeen, Morag wouldn’t be where she is now.
